And a lot of the most popular older stuff with Zoomers is the most meticulous. I think it's mostly just that there's a current bunch of people making a lot of TV/movies who learned a certain approach and aren't getting much negative feedback so are continuing with it.Yeah that was almost funny.I was like "Huh, as I DM I've certainly felt the way Gideon does here!".It was like classic "my adventure got completely short-circuited by the PCs!". Carefully created this special threat, even hyped it up in a villain monologue, and ooooopsy, the PCs managed to just completely negate it without even really meaning to. "Oh this room is full of clones! Was anyone expecting that?" "Nope, I guess we'd better deal with them though!".I also felt like Mando knowing how to casually explode the clones was bizarrely out-of-character. He's never been shown to be a tech-whiz before, but he found completely unfamiliar cloning equipment (presumably essentially medical in nature) and just knew exactly how to efficiently fiddle with it and make all the tanks explode, within what, a 60-120 seconds?I see the storyboard had him shooting at the console that controlled the clone-tanks, which would have been wildly more in-character and I wonder why they didn't go with that?I was hoping that "Moff Gideon" was going to use a Force power and then we'd realize that actually the guy in the black armour is another Gideon clone, and the real Gideon is still out there, but they didn't do that. Chekov's Gideon remains unfired.</blockquote>
